Too close for comfortI am so disappointed with this dress. It was just what I had been looking for as the perfect dress for a wedding.
I have to agree with previous reviews about the size which I did read before ordering, but thought I would try anyway . I ordered a size 10 my usual size and could not get the zip done up. It could be that the inner lining is restricting the stretch.
Unfortunately larger sizes are out of stock as they were at the time of ordering but I will keep looking .Maybe more stock of larger sizes will be delivered.

Perfect for a spring weddingI bought this dress for my niece's wedding. It was perfect but I would wear it on less formal occasions too.
The length was just below my knee,again perfect as many dresses these days are too short for me.

zip is a nightmare!Bought dress - v pleased - looks great fits well - wore out and realised during evening that zip is heavy and buckles as you move around so basically you end up forever pulling the back of the dress to keep the zip flat! Do not recommend!

Not great!Looks far better on the website than when you see/feel it, I thought the fabric would be much better and the dress more structured, colour poor so will be returning.
